William August Parker, born on March 22, 1961, passed away on July 27, 2024, at the age of 63. William, known fondly as Bill, lived a life full of passion, dedication, and love.
Bill was a man of many interests. He found joy in Harley Davidson motorcycles, often seen riding with a carefree spirit and a sense of adventure. His hobbies also included coin collecting and leather working, where his skill and meticulous attention to detail were evident. As a loyal fan of the Minnesota Vikings, Bill enjoyed cheering on his team through the highs and lows of each season.
After many years of dedicated service, Bill retired from Bridgestone Firestone.
He is survived by his loving family: his sister Teressa Parker; his brothers Steve Parker, Jerry and his wife Tammy Parker, and Tim Parker; his daughters Amber and her husband Scott Ewell, and Chelsea Parker; and his beloved grandchildren Farrah and Dominic (children of Chelsea), and Reese and Demi (children of Amber).
Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Shirley Ann Parker and William Henry Parker, whom he missed dearly.
Bill's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
A celebration of Bill's life will be held at Richland United Methodist Church on August 10, 2024, at 11:00 a.m.
May he rest in peace and ride on forever in our hearts.
